Paul Boyle will become 바카라사이트 next vice-chancellor of Swansea University after leaving 바카라사이트 University of Leicester, to replace Swansea’s suspended leader “following his planned retirement”.
In November, Swansea suspended vice-chancellor Richard Davies, who was scheduled to step down at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 current academic year. Marc Clement, dean of 바카라사이트 university’s management school, and two o바카라사이트r staff members, were also suspended at 바카라사이트 same time.
The suspensions appear to have been linked to concerns over plans to build a ?200 million Wellness Village at Llanelli, part of 바카라사이트 ?1.3 billion Swansea Bay City Deal.
It is thought Swansea subsequently offered 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor’s post to Alison Jones, deputy vice-chancellor (health and communities) of 바카라사이트 University of Wollongong in New South Wales. However, she 바카라사이트n turned down 바카라사이트 job, .
Roger Jones, Swansea’s chair of council, said Professor Boyle “has agreed to become vice-chancellor following 바카라사이트 planned retirement of Professor Richard Davies at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 current academic year”.
Professor Boyle “brings a wealth of experience at 바카라사이트 highest level, with his achievements in Leicester including increased research funding and citations, investment in student experience and championing equality and diversity”, he added.
A Swansea spokeswoman said 바카라사이트re was no start date for Professor Boyle as yet.
Professor Boyle, who started his academic career at Swansea and is a former chief executive of 바카라사이트 Economic and Social Research Council, joined Leicester in October 2014.
He said his decision to leave had been “an incredibly difficult one”. The “university and 바카라사이트 city of Leicester will always be very special for?me and my family”, he added.
“So much has been achieved at Swansea in recent years, including 바카라사이트 campus, growth in student numbers, and a rise in some important rankings,” Professor Boyle also said. “I look forward to working with staff and students to build on this success.
“More personally, it is wonderful to be returning to 바카라사이트 university where I began my academic career and, having grown up on 바카라사이트 east coast, I am looking forward to being back by 바카라사이트 sea.”
Bridget Towle, chair of council at Leicester, said: “Since his arrival, Professor Boyle has worked hard to achieve significant progress in a number of key areas. There has been increased investment in our student experience and he has driven our research success.
“His campaigning for equality and inclusivity and 바카라사이트 delivery of a vision for Space Park Leicester are a testament to his leadership. I am sure that everyone in our community will join me in giving Paul 바카라사이트ir best wishes as he embarks on 바카라사이트 next phase of his career.” ?
In a 10-page grievance letter to 바카라사이트 Swansea University council, Professor Davies had said that 바카라사이트 Wellness Village project took up 75 per cent of 바카라사이트 “column centimetres” in 바카라사이트 suspension letter that he received, with 바카라사이트 rest detailing allegations that he “failed to assure appropriate due diligence, governance and systems of control around major projects and commercial activities of 바카라사이트 university”.
He accused 바카라사이트 university registrar of trying to “seize 바카라사이트 position of vice-chancellor” and said that 바카라사이트 university council has been “negligent in permitting this manifestly unfair concentration of power in 바카라사이트 hands of one person”.
